About bim.aero 1.3.2 for macOS

bim.aero allows you to produce BIM contents a posteriori, keeping your mind away from BIM related issues, all along your processes of design or drawing.

bim.aero takes full advantage of the latest Mac technologies and features, to raise your 3D models to BIM databases. Once your 3D model is imported in bim.aero, you can extend it with a BIM hierarchy, simply connecting and populating the BIM entities by dragging and dropping your 3D objects and layers. Then, you have complete freedom to enhance such entities with standard quantities and properties (Industry Foundation Class™) or by creating yours.

If you need to export your « BIMified » model in IFC2x3™ format, you can buy our PREMIUM PACK extension inside the software. This extension also offers you a complete set of powerful tools to search in your new BIM database, and allows you to extract specific components to apply a common property, or to massively change some of their attributes, for example.

bim.aero is also a powerful 3D visualization tool. It can dynamically render your model, and take advantage of the Metal API to show explicit details with many kinds of rendering options and tools. You can prepare and store these views to advantageously and dynamically illustrate your thought.
